Part of a hotel complex.

Might this be an elevator/lift which facilitates sight-seeing, i.e., moves up and down exterior of building, made mainly of glass?

If so, how to call: scenic lift?

Hi, Bruce!

It seems this expression is in use.

Bruce,

I do not know the context. I would think a scenic elevator or lift can move up and down with a view of scenery outside the building. Panorama Elevator puts the emphasis on the broard viwe that one can see from inside the elevator. A staircase would be stationed. It would be referred as 楼梯 or 观景楼梯. I think it is unlikely in your case.

Thanks for note on lift vs staircase. This, rather than exactly how to call such a lift, is the issue...
